Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What types of anxiety do you treat?
We treat various forms of anxiety, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, specific phobias, and anxiety stemming from life transitions or other stressors. Our therapists use evidence-based techniques to help manage symptoms and develop healthy coping strategies.
How can your therapy help with trauma?
Our trauma-informed therapists provide compassionate care and utilize specialized therapeutic approaches (like trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy or EMDR principles) to help you process difficult experiences, manage distressing symptoms, regain a sense of safety and control, and rebuild trust. We work collaboratively to help you heal at your own pace.
Is therapy confidential?
Absolutely. Therapeutic confidentiality is a cornerstone of our practice. We adhere strictly to ethical guidelines and legal requirements regarding client confidentiality. Your personal information and the details of your therapy sessions are protected.
How do I know if I'm the right therapist for me?
Choosing a therapist is a personal process. We encourage you to consider our therapists' specialties and therapeutic approaches. You can learn more about our team on our website. We also recommend scheduling an initial consultation (sometimes offered) to see if you feel comfortable and understood before committing to regular sessions.
What should I expect during my first session?
Your first session typically involves an intake conversation where you can share your concerns, background, and reasons for seeking therapy. Your therapist will gather information to understand your situation better and collaboratively develop a treatment plan. This is also a chance for you to ask questions and get acquainted with the therapeutic process.
